Hints

1. Instead of holding down the X button, tap it furiously.
2. If you forget to tap the X button and spin out, take your hands off of the accelerator button(square),and the brake(X), and then immediately press the accelerator button (square) before you stop. However, make sure you're pointing in the right direction when you press the accelerator button(square), or you might end up dashing in the wrong direction.
